I haven't been to a movie since before Christmas. I've been to many excellent restaraunts and purchased quite a few books instead. I think I might be on to something.

Conservative party elects a leader today. The Fear is back, especially since Paul Martin has sabotaged his party as effectively as possible. Personally. I'll lobby for a minority government in the hope that in the next five years, actual leaders emerge and not these jingo-laden whackjobs currently running. Except Layton. He can stay.
